NetApp 7-mode largest best-practive volume size
What is the largest best practice volume size for a NetApp v 8.2.3x 7-Mode volume with an NFS Export? I know that the OS will support a 72 TB volume but I seem to remember that there was a limit past which one sees performance issues.
We have FAS 3250 filers, and are running VMware 5.1 ESXI soon to be 5.5.x.
The volumes server as SANs for the VMs.

Snapshots are very fast with VAAI NFS vmx-09+
They are not slow because of disk size, but because of intense IO in VM (and competing for IOPs)

I am closing this as I did not really find the answer that I was looking for.
But you all made some excellent points.
Thank you

I seem to remember that my former boss was working on getting the larger ones down to like 12-16 TB.
I just cannot remember what the magic number was and why it was a good idea.
